I've thought about doing the same thing, but the dipstick tube is so narrow I can't see how you'd be able to keep fluid going in it constantly.
I would think you would need like a 2 or 3 gallon funnel
with a tiny tube to fit inside the dipstick.

I did it on a '94 S10 blazer with 18" of spring only lift.
To do a real flush IMO you can't dump more down the dipstick and have it mix with the old.
What I did was put a wide pan under it, removed the filter, took a piece of heater hose that fit tight into the filter hole, put the heater hose into a gallon jug of new trans fluid, let it run, suck it in and drip out into the big catch pan until it came out clean.
It may not do anything, maybe it's a waste of time. But I never had a problem with that trans and it beats sitting on the couch watching tv.
